O Come All Ye Faithful Patapan Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire

Stop the war on ChristMAS 🕯️

Greening of the Cathedral, Christmas frontal in place, wreaths hung under the Nativity Window ⚓

This is the most I’ve thought about a 60 Minutes segment in maybe my whole life so congrats to Bari

O Wisdom, that comest from the mouth of the Most High, that reachest from one end to another, mightily and sweetly ordering all things, come and teach us the way of understanding. #Advent #OWisdom #OAntiphons #tec ⚓️

Nobody blunders the endgame better than me. Practically my calling card at this point. 1) Gain early advantage 2) maintain advantage 3) horrendous blunder

In the same vein as the interpretation that Pilate's wife's dream was of billions of voices chanting "suffered under Pontius Pilate", there is the delightfully weird Christmas song The Governor's Dream, told from the POV of Quirinius the governor whose vision of the Nativity turns into a nightmare

Amazing arrangement of the OG "Jesus+Drums=Christmas" song open.spotify.com/track/3aL6UZ...

Had some friends over last night for dinner and we sang a whole bunch of Advent songs - Come Thou Long Expected Jesus (both Stuttgart and Hyfrydol) Comfort Comfort Ye My People, Prepare the Way O Zion, Lift Up Your Heads Ye Mighty Gates and more! It was a great way to spend a frigid December evening

HEISMENDOZA!

When I was in the Marching Hundred, the director's ("The Colonel" Dave Woodley) email tagline was "On a collision course with the Rose Bowl, the only variable is time." Well, Colonel, the time has arrived. #iufb

I was 5 years old the last time IU beat Ohio State.

⚓Please pray for the repose of the soul of the Rt. Rev. Catherine Waynick, 10th Bishop of Indianapolis, who died last night.

Just finished reading Anne of Green Gables with my daughters - I had never read it before but it is always highly regarded by my library colleagues. It did not disappoint - such a beautifully told story, and we're all excited now to continue Anne's adventures with the next book in the series. 📚

43 years ago today, readers the world over opened their newspapers and gazed upon cow tools for the first time. happy birthday cow tools. you look great.

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

A friend visited an Episcopal Church on Sunday. They went at 8AM and were surprised there was no music. I said "Ah yes the classic 8AM spoken Eucharist." But I have no idea why this is a thing - did it begin with the 79 BCP or was there already a tradition of early morning spoken services? ⚓

Hoosiers!!

Pet blessing at the kids' school this morning. Bless the LORD all ye turtles of the LORD.

OTD 225 years ago in Boston, "America's first composer" William Billings died at age 53. I first heard his music at Sacred Harp singings, and especially love "Easter Anthem" Recently I've enjoyed listening to the anthem "Be Glad then America" which seems positively prophetic youtu.be/YxvjFJeDvyo?...

Watching the Hoosiers grind Illinois into dust #iufb

I have now been an episcopalian long enough that hymns I had never heard before becoming an episcopalian are familiar enough and long-known enough to have nostalgia about getting older rules

Eternal God, who raised up Phoebe as a deacon in your church and minister of your Gospel; Grant us that same grace that, assisted by her prayers and example, we too may take the Gospel to the ends of the earth; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord...⚓

It’s the guns. They protect the guns (& not the children) because they love the guns (more than children). Empty thoughts, empty prayers, children sacrificed, rinse & repeat. It’s the guns (& the people protecting the guns).

This graphic goes hard.

This was written in 2012, right after Sandy Hook. Everything should have changed after that day, or on so many days before and after. Nothing HAS changed. Our Moloch forbids it! www.nybooks.com/online/2012/...

The pit in your stomach as you read about another school shooting, having dropped off your own kids at their school a few hours ago. Lord have mercy

Mourn, mourn, mourn, mourn Pharaoh and Ahab prevail in our Land Mourn, mourn, mourn, mourn Achans abound and trouble the Land Mourn, mourn, mourn, mourn Darkness and clouds of awful shade Hang pendant by a slender thread Waiting commission from God, the upholder, to fall and distress us
